Red Mountain's Bleached Bone: A Silver Lining Emerging After 26 Years

Perched at the peak of Red Mountain in the backwater town of Rougemont, North Carolina, Castle Mont Rouge - a dance of dreams and ruins - stares down at the world below since 2000. American sculptor Robert Mihaly began its construction in a fit of creative tantrum, but circumstances silenced the project in 2006. Resting in its crypt for a decade and a half, Mihaly unexpectedly resurrected the vision in 2017, nudging the project forward, and aiming to unveil the castle's final act in 2014. You can almost hear the stone cringe at the possibility.
